So, it's the less than three years that's the problem, No Recourse To Public Funds DOES NOT apply to education (basically, it's benefits and NHS):
Adult education budget: funding and performance management rules 2023 to 2024 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Unless, of course, you are in London, where GLA *will* fund these learners if they're planning to be here for more than 12 months.
Hi both,
Can I please just check that this is due the type of permit "only" being 'Leave to Enter' and not one of the options which exempts learners from the 3-year residency rule?
- discretionary leave to enter or remain
- exceptional leave to enter or remain
- indefinite leave to enter or remain
Thanks

Residency Query
Created
We have been approached by a few potential AEB learners who are not originally from the UK/EEA – primarily Nigeria, Ghana and Sri Lanka
They have Residency Permits which state:
Type of Permit:
“Skilled Worker” “Leave to Enter”
Remarks
“Restricted Work”
“No Public Funds”
In all three cases, they have stated they have not lived in the UK/EEA for three years.
Based on the above, would we be correct in thinking that as they do not meet the 3 year residency rule they cannot undertake an AEB course – and furthermore the “No Public Funds” comment would also disallow them?
Thanks in advance
